Joe Klemm First introduced in the 1980's, Tetris is a computer game that is considered one of the best video games of all time. The game centers around trying to make horizontal lines out of blocks that fall to the screen. The game has been released on many different computer and video game systems, and it is possibly also available for cell phones and palm computers.
% New York in the 20th century.
%
% At Brooklyn pre-med junior hospital.
Doctor: Push, Mrs. Fry, you're almost there.
Mr. Fry: [Sitting nearby reading a magazine] You can do it, honey. Squeeze
one out for America. [Flips page]
Mrs. Fry: Hey, keep it down - it's the ninth inning.
Announcer: [On the radio she's holding in her hand] Here's the O-2 pitch to
Criedpoole - he's taking all the way for a called strike three.
Mrs. Fry: Swing the bat, you bum!
% Baby cries.
Doctor: It's a boy - and look at that red hair.
Mr. Fry: You saying my son's a commie?
Announcer: And Brodie leans into the pitch... It hits him! The Mets win!
Mrs. Fry: [Screams with delight] This is the happiest day of my life!
Doctor: Here's your baby, ma'am.
Mrs. Fry: Yeah, okay, thanks.
Mr. Fry: So, what should we name him?
Mrs. Fry: Oh, you pick. I picked dinner last night.
Mr. Fry: Well, I was thinking of "Philip" - after those screwdrivers?
Mrs. Fry: That's a fantastic idea. More morphine, please!
% At the nursery.
Mr. Fry: Look, Yancy. It's your baby brother, Philip.
Yancy: I want to be named Philip. Me Philip! Me Philip!
Mr. Fry: Son, your name is Yancy just like me and my grandfather, and so
on... all the way back to Minute Man Yancy Fry who blasted Commies
in the American Revolution. [Yancy gives a military salute] Philip,
until I find a suitable model of an ICBM you'll have to make do
learning to fear this toy spacecraft.
% Baby Fry coos happily looking at planets and the spaceship spinning above
% him.
Yancy: [Rips the spaceship off] Mine.
% Philip starts crying. Yancy throws the ship out the window. On the fly it
% changes into Planet Express ship on approach to Earth. It's the present day
% (i.e., The Future) now.
%
% The ship lands at Flushing Downs. It's the race track. The bell rings and
% the race starts. Crowd yells.
Fry: Come on!
Hermes: Baby needs a new pair of shoes!
Zoidberg: To hell with your spoiled baby. I need those shoes.
% The race finish is really close.
Announcer: And it's a dead heat. They're checking the electron microscope and
the winner is... number three, in a quantum finish.
Prof.: No fair! You changed the outcome by measuring it. [Crumples his
ticket]
Leela: How did you do, Fry?
Fry: I'll tell you when my horse finishes. [Pause] Bad.
% At the VIP lounge.
Mr. Wong: In today's field we own four horses and two jockeys.
Mrs. Wong: We just put our best jockey out to stud, Amy. He's perfect for you.
Jockey: Hey, baby. Ever do it in a suitcase?
% Back to others.
Bender: Ooh, look - it's the Centaur race.
% Bell rings, the centaurs go. They slap themselves and yell.
Centaurs: Ow! Ooh! Ow!
Fry: Come on, come on. Hey, Leela, how about a kiss for good luck? [Leela
sighs and kisses him on the cheek] I meant tongue luck.
% Centaurs finish.
Announcer: And the winner is number four... Steven!
Fry: [Groans in disappointment] I am so unlucky. I've run over black cats
that were luckier than me.
% At the concession stand.
Man: Get your piping hot horse burgers horse fries, horse cakes and
shakes. We got tongue, straight from the horse's mouth.
Leela: Hmm.
Hermes: It all sounds good.
Man: All our horses are 100% horse-fed for that double-horse "juiced-in"
goodness.
Leela: I'll have the cholesterol-free omelet with horse-beaters.
Man: And you, Sir? How can I horse you?
Hermes: I'll have a horse Coke.
Man: Horse Pepsi okay?
Hermes: Nay.
% At the stables.
%
% Bender sneaks in wearing a horse disguise to inject horses with "comatoxin".
% He gives one horse a shot. It neighs, then yawns. Bender laughs.
Jockey: Hey, what are you doing?
Bender: [Gives him a shot] This.
% The jockey falls down and falls asleep. Bender goes on to make injections to
% other horses.
%
% Back at the track.
Fry: Dear Horse God I know I don't usually pray to you. Sometimes I doubt
you even exist. But if you're willing to grant me luck please, stamp
your hoof once.
% Bell rings. One horse runs off, the others slowly walk out and yawn. Bender
% laughs fiendishly.
Fry: Come on, number six - move it! [The horse yawns] Don't do that. What
are you...? [Yawns himself] Man, it's contagious.
% The horse finishes.
Announcer: And the winner is Harry Trotter by the entire racetrack.
% The ticket in Bender's hands rings and shoots colored stars, showing
% $2500.
Bender: Yahoo-hoo-hoo! That'll teach those other horses to take drugs.
Fry: That's IT. You can only take my money for so long before you take it
all and I say enough! I've got one dollar left and this one I'm
holding on to. [The winds rips it out of his hand] Oh, no, you
don't.
% The dollar flies into the cash slot of the slurm machine, but is rejected.
% It flies up and gets stuck in the power lines. Fry climbs the pole.
Fry: I may not know much about horses but I know a lot about doing
anything for one dollar.
% He can't reach it. He climbs down, gets a rake and climbs back up.
Fry: If you think bad luck can defeat me then you don't know my name is
Philip J. [Reaches for the dollar, touches the power lines and gets
shocked. He groans and shakes, but finally pulls away] Whew.
[Lighting strikes him]
% He falls down head first into a trash can. The concession stand man comes
% out the back door with a bucket of waste.
Man: That is one unlucky guy. [Dumps the contents of the bucket into the
trash can the Fry is in]
% Flashback to the past. Fry and his brother are playing 1-on-1 basketball.
Fry: Kareem's got the "sky hook" but Philip J. Fry's got the "space
hook."
% Throws the ball and misses. Yancy gets the ball.
Yancy: Yancy drives. He goes up with his patented "space hook." [He throws
and the ball goes in]
Fry: Hey, that's MY patented space hook. You stole it!
Yancy: You're not the president of it. [Points him to the ball]
% Fry goes to get it. When he does he finds a seven-leaf clover.
Fry: Holy Kamoley! A seven-leaf clover.
Yancy: I'm dying of old age!
% Fry puts he clover under his cuff and returns to the game. He drives and
% shoots from afar. It goes in.
Fry: Game over! Phil wins! Yancy's fans are stunned! They'll be no
celebration at the Yancy Dome!
Yancy: Lucky.
% Fry takes out the clover and looks at it. The clover changes into the Planet
% Express meeting table. It's back to the future. Bender whistles happily.
Leela: Well, someone's in a good mode.
Bender: Let's just say I lucked out at the track. Also, I rigged one race.
Fry: [Most of his hair is gone and fumes rise from his head] Huh! I'd
have won a lot of money, too if I still had my lucky seven-leaf
clover. Plus, I'd still have my hair.
% The hairbot rolls in.
Hairbot: I got your page, Mr. Fry. Your new hair is ready. [Hands him the
new hair]
Amy: So, whatever happened to the seven-leaf clover?
Fry: I hid it in a secret hiding place whose location I never told
anyone - Not even Scruffy.
% Scruffy turns around and leaves.
Zoidberg: So the clover is still in the hiding place, maybe?
Fry: Hey, yeah! Maybe it is still there underground in the ruins of Old
New York helping some ant defeat another ant helping some or helping
some piece of dirt turn its luck around.
Prof.: Dirt doesn't need luck.
Fry: I'm going down there to get my clover BACK. Some of the tunnels have
metal bars so I'll need someone who's good at bending. Leela, how
about you?
Leela: Sure, I'll do it.
Bender: Like hell you will! Bending's my middle name.
Fry: It is?
Bender: Yep. My full name is Bender Bending R-R-Rodriguez.
% They are going down to the underground.
Fry: Here's the entrance. From this moment on I declare my bad luck
officially over. [The ladder step he stood on breaks and he falls
down into the manhole] Whoa! [Lands] Oof!
Bender: He was fun.
[End of Act One. Act Time: 7:59 Running Time: 7:59]
% In the underground.
Leela: Well, if we get bored looking for the clover, I've got Tetris on
this thing.
Fry: Look, up ahead!
Bender: Old New York... the city that inspired a casino in Las Vegas.
Fry: Wow! We've got Manhattan all to ourselves. I can finally do all the
crazy stuff I always dreamed of doing. [Jumps on a knocked over
fridge and yells] Howard Stern is overrated! [Giggles goofily. Then
he runs to the payphone, picks up the receiver and drops it] Uh...
oops.
Bender: New York is so burned.
Fry: And remember when Mayor Giuliani cracked down on jaywalking?
Leela: No.
Fry: Well, Rudy, how do you like this action? [A lizard runs him over]
Oh!
% Flashback to the past.
Man: As you know, the big break dance battle is Saturday. So, if we want
to win those Jam-master J autographed parachute pants, our crew has
to pop, lock and bust the freshest. Noticeably F-A-T, drop us a
beat.
% Noticeably F-A-T starts making music-like noises.
Man: Name?
Fry: Cosmic F.
Man: Style?
Fry: Outer space.
Man: Special moves?
Fry: The Moon Walk... [Walks it] the Robot... [Does the robot] the Zero
G.
Man: Name?
Yancy: Cosmic Y.
Man: Style?
Yancy: Uh, Deep Space.
Fry: Deep Space?
Man: Special moves?
Yancy: The Space Walk... [Walks it]
Fry: Hey!
Yancy: ...the Robot... [Does the robot]
Fry: The Robot? That's similar to mine.
Yancy: The Zero G.
Fry: What are you doing? You totally ripped off my routine.
Yancy: You calling me a biter? [Everyone gasps. F-A-T stops playing]
Fry: Why do you always have to steal everything from me, Yancy? Find your
own life and live it.
Yancy: Stop illin'. Word.
Fry: Well, I'd like to see you try to steal this: the Sextuple Head Spin!
[Everyone gasps]
Yancy: He's just scratchin'. No one's ever done more than a quadruple.
Fry: Oh, yeah? Noticeably F-A-T, rewind the tape.
% F-A-T imitates tape-rewinding sounds, then starts the music. Fry puts the
% clover under his head-band and starts spinning on his head.
Man: Crazy suck.
% Fry jumps to his feet. Everybody congratulates him.
People: Yeah! Phil!
F-A-T: Ice-cold, bro!
Man: Fry, if I ever see you try anything that crazy again this crew might
just have some new parachute pants! [Everyone cheers]
% Fry takes the clover and looks lovingly at it.
Yancy: Stop hogging the clover.
% They start fighting. Fry knocks Yancy down and runs away. Yancy gets up and
% runs after him.
%
% Back to the future.
%
% Fry gets up and dusts himself off.
Fry: All right, team, let's go find that clover.
Leela: Which way to your house? The sign says we're at 71st Street.
Fry: 71st Street? Hmm... Never heard of it. Downtown could be in any
direction.
Bender: No sweat. We'll just take a spin on the B-Train. [Steps on the rail
sparks fly] OOh, that feels funny. [Takes out a microphone] This is
the Brooklyn-bound B-Train making local stops at wherever the hell I
feel like. Watch for the closing doors. [Makes closing door warning
sounds]
% Bender takes off.
%
% They arrive at NEWKIRK Avenue. Fry and Leela get off the B-train, but
% there's also a bum on it already, sleeping.
Bender: [Shakes him up] Wake up, buddy. End of the line. [The bum mumbles
and leaves]
Fry: Gosh, my old neighborhood. Oh, that's the bench where I found some
shirts. That fire hydrant - in the summer, we'd light on fire. On
that corner, some guy with a bushy beard handed out a Socialist
newsletter.
Bender: Was it poorly xeroxed?
Fry: You better believe it.
Leela: The old comedians were right - this place is a lot different from
L.A.
% A man pokes his head out of the sewer hatch.
Man: Pardon me. Did I overhear you say you used to live here?
Fry: That's right.
Man: Did you know Andy Goldman?
Fry: Yeah. He was my neighbor. Why?
Man: I mutated from him.
Fry: Get out of here! What's Andy up to these days?
% Another head pokes out of the man's shoulder.
Head: The short answer is, I'm teaching. [The man dives into the sewer]
Leela: He seemed nice.
Fry: Sure, when he's sober.
% They walk on.
Fry: Holy Kamoley! The house I grew up in. It's still there. [A shot of
a half-demolished house]
Bender: Man, Father Time really took a bat to this place.
% Flashback. The house is about as dilapidated in the past.
% Fry runs to the house, followed by Yancy.
Yancy: That stupid clover is a worthless piece of garbage! Give it! Give
it! Give it!
Fry: Mom, help!
% Mrs. Fry practices her golf swing inside. She hits the ball, and it goes in
% the "WORLD'S BEST MOM" cup, breaking it.
Mrs. Fry: Yes!
Fry: Mom, Yancy's trying to steal my clover.
Mrs. Fry: [Distracted] Yancy, stealing is wrong. [Continues her practice]
Yancy: Come back here! I'm going to pile-drive you! You're dead meat!
% Fry runs into the room and shuts the door. In the basement.
Mr. Fry: What's happening up there? Did Kremlin Joe let fly with the nukes?
Fry: Not yet, Commander. Yancy's just trying to steal my stuff, as usual.
Mr. Fry: Well, he'd better keep his hands off these bananas. We're going to
need them when the radiation turns us all into monkeys. [Climbs up
the stairs]
Fry: The Ronco Record Vault. Yancy will never get his hands on you in
here or my money back. [Opens the vault] Ah! The Breakfast Club
soundtrack. Man, I can't wait till I'm old enough to feel ways about
stuff. [Stickes the clover inside the record jacket, puts it back
into the vault] Stay safe, clover. I may need you again someday.
[Runs up the stairs]
% Back to the future. Fry comes down the same stairs.
Fry: This was the storage room. My dad spent years turning it into a bomb
shelter.
Leela: And yet you guys never had a single nuclear war.
Bender: What a waste.
Fry: This is it. My Ronco Record Vault. [Blows the dust off of it] I
still remember the combination. [Turns the dial] Three. [Tries to
open it, it won't budge] It's stuck.
Bender: The Achilles heel of the Ronco design is its structural resonance
frequency. Allow me.
% Bender puts his hand of the vault and starts vibrating. Everything shakes.
% The vault door swings open, but Bender's head falls off as well.
Bender: Here we go.
Fry: He it is - The Breakfast club soundtrack.
Bender: You mean the breakfast club sandwich.
Fry: I hid my seven-leaf clover in this very record jacket so my brother
Yancy wouldn't get it. [Sighs] Here it goes. It's gone! The whole
place has been cleaned out. Yancy stole my clover. That thief.
Leela: How do you know it didn't disintegrate?
Fry: Everything else here held up OK.
Bender: Except "Sports" buy Hughy Lewis.
% They head back.
Fry: I don't know why my brother hated me so much.
Leela: Oh, brothers always fight. I'm sure deep down he loved you, he just
never got a chance to say it before you got frozen.
Fry: You think? 'Cause I always kind of wished that... [Gasps]
% Looks at a statue.
Bender: Who is this god-like figure?
Fry: It's my brother Yancy. And there, in his lapel, my seven leaf
clover! I knew he stole it!
Leela: Hold the phone. If that's Yancy why does the inscription say Philip
J. Fry?
Fry: Wait a second, that's my name! Good lord, he ditched his goofy name
and stole mine.
Bender: Apparently, this b rave Adonis - this Cadillac of men - was the
first person on Mars.
Fry: First person on Mars?! I should have been the first person on Mars.
He stole my clover, he stole my name and he stole my life! [Punches
the statue] And now he broke my hand.
Bender: His legend lives on.
[End of Act Two. Act Time: 7:45 Running Time: 15:44]
Prof.: So, you opened the record vault and the clover was gone?
Bender: Yep, nothing in there but all the best music of the 1980s in one
amazing collection.
Leela: Survivor, Pat Benatar, The Scorpions... the list goes on.
Fry: That clover helped my rat fink brother steal my dream of going into
space. Now I'll never there.
Leela: You went there this morning for doughnuts.
Hermes: [Reads] "First Person on Mars." Oh, so your brother was THAT Philip
J. Fry?
Fry: I'm Philip J. Fry. He stole my name after I got frozen.
Prof.: Shut up, friends! My internet browser heard us saying the word "Fry"
and it found a movie about Philip J. Fry for us. It also opened my
calendar to Friday and ordered me some French fries.
% The movie loads and then starts.
Narrator: Philip J. Fry, astronaut, philanthropist, entrepreneur was a great
man, truly worthy of narration. Fry was the first man on Mars, a
feat that has never since been equaled.
Fry: That should have been me!
Narrator: The ever-lucky Fry made his fortune after striking oil in the
bathroom of the mansion he had won in a lottery.
Fry: That's my clover - Yancy stole it!
Narrator: After a whirlwind fling with Icelandic supermodel Njord Fry scored a
string of top-ten hits with his rock band Leaf Seven, known for
their hypnotic rhythms, driving baselines and memorable hooks.
Fry: That's what I'm known for.
Musician: [In the movie] Phil came in, right, strummed out this tune, yeah,
and I said, "That's a number one record."
Narrator: Today, Fry spends most of his time in his grave at Orbiting Meadows
National Cemetery buried with the trademark seven-leaf clover that
will bring him luck in the next life, perhaps some Egyptians
believe.
Fry: So that's where my clover is. Hey, is that orbiting cemetery near
hear?
Leela: It will be in a couple hours.
Fry: Good. Leela, Bender, we're going grave robbing.
Bender: I'll get my kit.
% Shot of the statue. Flashback to the past, with the statue changing into
% Yancy's reflection in the mirror. He's putting on a camouflage tuxedo.
Yancy: Thanks for lending me your tux, Dad. It'll be perfect for my
wedding.
Mr. Fry: Yancy, that tux got me through 'Nam in style. [Sighs] I just wish
your brother were still around to see this.
Mrs. Fry: I'll never forget the day Philip disappeared. Wisconsin won the Rose
Bowl, 17-9. Oh, I miss him.
Yancy: Ooh, that reminds me - I was thinking I'd rummage through Phil's
records for something to play at the wedding.
Mrs. Fry: Have a look downstairs. Your brother may be missing, but his crap
sure isn't.
% Yancy digs in a box labelled Phil's Stuff. He takes out a childish drawing
% of a rocket blasting to space from Earth, with a man standing on top of it.
% The inscription at the bottom says "Philip Fry Age 20". Yancy folds it and
% puts it in his pocket. He tries to open the vault, but it won't give. He
% takes out a jar of "Doh-Doh", opens it, and blows the vault open with it.
% He takes out the Breakfast Club soundtrack.
Yancy: Ah, Breakfast Club. This will clear out the room at the end of the
reception. [The clover falls out of it. Yancy picks it up and gasps]
% Back to the future. The ship heads to the Orbiting Cemetery. It gets in.
Leela: They buried your brother in the World Heroes section? I'm impressed.
Fry: I should be the one in that grave.
% They pass the guards. The guards salute. They salute back.
Fry: Hmm. We lost Bender.
Bender: [Gets up from a grave] There. Now no one will be able to say I don't
own John Larraquette's spine.
% They walk up to the grave.
Fry: Aha! My brother's grave.
Leela: [Reads] "Philip Fry, the original Martian."
Fry: It's all lies - every word of it! He wasn't original, he wasn't a
Martian, he wasn't Philip Fry and since when is he a "the"?
Bender: You're twice the "the" he ever was.
Fry: It's clovering time.
% They start digging. Fry hits the tombstone by the handle of the shovel,
% revealing some more of the inscription. He reads.
%
% Flashback to the past.
%
% Yancy and his wife with their newborn. The baby cries.
Wife: So, had any ideas for names, Yancy?
Yancy: Hmm, I'm sort of thinking of one. [To the baby] Daddy has a present
for you today. Do you know what it is? It's a lucky clover that can
help you be successful whatever you do, even break-dancing, and it
once belonged to someone very special.
Wife: I know what name you want to give him, Yancy. It's okay.
Yancy: Really? Son, I'm naming you Philip J. Fry in honor of my little
brother, who I miss everyday. I love you, Philip... and I always
will.
% Shot of Fry's drawing, now framed on the wall. Yancy kisses the baby. The
% baby giggles. Back to the future.
Fry: [Reads the tombstone] "Here lies Philip J. Fry, named for his uncle
to carry on his spirit."
Bender: Pay dirt! I got the clover! Plus, his wedding ring. Sorry, ladies,
I'm taken. Hey, Fry, you want me to smack the corpse up a little?
% Fry gets up, takes the clover from Bender, looks at it, then at the
% tombstone.
Leela: Uh, Bender, I think Fry needs a moment alone.
Bender: All right. Grab a shovel. I'm one skull short of Mouseketeer
reunion.
% Fry looks at the clover. "Don't you forget about me" starts playing. Fry
% puts the clover back in the grave. The camera moves away.
